SIMBA Telecom Pte Ltd, formerly known as TPG Singapore, is a Singaporean telecommunications company and one of four major telecommunication company operating in the country.

Key Information

TPG Singapore was founded in 2016 by Australian businessman David Teoh after winning an auction from Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) for its airwaves rights. It was a subsidiary of TPG Telecom Australia, an Australian telecommunications company founded by Teoh.

In 2020, the merger of TPG Australia with Vodafone Hutchison Australia to form TPG Telecom resulted in TPG Singapore splitting up from its Australian counterpart. As a result, TPG Singapore operated under the newly established and Australian-listed Tuas Ltd, also founded by Teoh, independently of the merged TPG Telecom entity. In 2022, TPG Singapore was rebranded to SIMBA Telecom after the usage rights to TPG brand expired.

History

[edit]

2016–2019: Founding as TPG Singapore

[edit]

On 14 December 2016, it was announced that TPG had secured the fourth telecommunications license in Singapore for S$105 million (A$122 million).[2] The reserve price was only S$35 million, and TPG Singapore paid three times the minimum that was asked for by the Singapore authorities.[3][4][5]

They were provisionally allocated 60 MHz of spectrum made available in the New Entrant Spectrum Auction (NESA), with spectrum rights that commenced in April 2017. TPG was also expected to provide street level coverage nationwide within 18 months of the start date.[6]

On 21 December 2018, a call for 20,000 participants in a year-long trial was put out,[7] with another call for participants made in March 2019 while delaying the launch of the network to 2020.[8]

For voice communications, it makes use of Voice over LTE technology which saw subscribers have initial troubles setting up during the trial rollout at the start of 2019 as existing phones did not contain the configuration profile required for the VoLTE functionality to work.[9] These was largely resolved when the major brands added the configuration profile into their operating systems, with Apple adding the profile only in September 2019.[10]

In July 2019, a study by Opensignal found that TPG Singapore had slower network speeds and poorer connectivity than the established rival telcos.[11]

2020 – 2021: Commercial service

[edit]
See also: TPG (Internet service provider)

TPG launched commercial service in March 2020.[12]

Tuas Limited was incorporated in Australia on 11 March 2020 in anticipation of the demerger of the Singapore operations of TPG Telecom Limited (subsequently renamed to TPG Corporation Limited) resulting from the merger between TPG Telecom and Vodafone Hutchison Australia.[13] That merger attained final court approval on 26 June 2020 with the demerger of TPG Singapore becoming effective and under whose terms Tuas Limited has the rights to use the TPG brand in Singapore until June 2022.[14][15]

In November 2021, IMDA announced that the telco has won the rights to the 2.1 GHz spectrum of 5G network and services and is provisionally awarded two lots of 5 MHz of the spectrum.[16][17][18] With accordance to IMDA, TPG Singapore would have the right to provide 5G network services, starting 1 January 2022.[17] As part of the regulatory process, TPG Singapore has to roll out the 5G network islandwide by the end of 2026.[17]

2022 – present: Rebrand to SIMBA

[edit]

In April 2022, TPG Singapore was required to change its branding following the expiration of its two-year usage rights for the TPG name and was subsequently rebranded as SIMBA Telecom.[19][20]

In March 2023, Simba submitted a response to the IMDA Consultation Paper on the proposed allocation of the 6 GHz band. In its submission, Simba expressed views on spectrum allocation for mobile telecommunications, advocating for a technology-neutral approach and a balanced approach to foster innovation and competition in the market.

In the same month, it was announced that Simba will be entering the internet service provider (ISP) market in Singapore, offering the first 2.5Gbit/s broadband service. It will be leveraging the existing network infrastructure in Singapore.[21] Subsequently, Simba upgraded its broadband offerings to 10 Gbit/s following a government initiative that provided subsidies of up to $100 million to local broadband operators.[22]

In September 2023, all Simba 4G plans has been upgraded to support 5G.

As of March 2025, Simba has slightly over 11% of the local market share.

On 11 August 2025, Keppel announced it will sell its 83.9 per cent effective stake in M1 to Simba.[23] While Simba will acquire the telecommunication portion of M1,[24] Keppel will retain M1’s enterprise business.[23] The sale is still pending Infocomm Media Development Authority's approval.[23]

In April 2017, IMDA granted TPG Singapore a Facilities-Based Operator (FBO) licence, authorizing it to deploy and operate its own telecommunications network and facilities in . The licence imposed specific rollout obligations, including achieving nationwide 4G LTE coverage across the entire island (encompassing MRT tunnels and platforms) by December 31, 2021, and, under its 2.1 GHz spectrum rights, deploying 95% nationwide outdoor coverage using a standalone network by December 31, 2026, to ensure competitive service quality and accessibility. From inception, TPG Singapore's emphasized constructing a low-cost, data-centric mobile network aimed at disrupting the incumbent operators through aggressive pricing on data-heavy, SIM-only plans, targeting price-sensitive consumers and fostering greater market competition. The company underwent a significant in April 2022, changing its name to Telecom Pte Ltd after the two-year usage rights for the TPG brand expired. The new identity drew inspiration from the word "Simba," meaning lion, evoking strength and a thematic connection to Singapore's symbol, while reinforcing its commitment to delivering affordable, no-contract mobile plans that prioritize value and flexibility for users. This coincided with expansions in retail presence and network capabilities, solidifying Simba's role as a challenger in the sector.

Ownership and leadership

Simba Telecom Pte Ltd is wholly owned by Tuas Limited (ASX: TUA), an Australian telecommunications company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Tuas Limited was incorporated in 2020 following the merger of its former parent, TPG Telecom, with Vodafone Hutchison Australia, allowing the Singapore operations to operate independently under Tuas. The company is controlled by billionaire David Teoh, who serves as Executive Chairman of Tuas Limited and holds significant influence through his associated entities, such as Tsh Holdings Pty Ltd.

Historical development

2016–2019: Establishment as TPG Singapore

In December 2016, Pte Ltd emerged as 's fourth by winning the conducted by the (IMDA), securing 20 MHz of spectrum in the 900 MHz band and 40 MHz in the 2.3 GHz band for S$105 million. This acquisition provided the foundation for deploying LTE-Advanced networks, offering enhanced capacity and coverage potential in urban environments. The spectrum rights became effective from April 2017, with a 15-year term until 2032. In April 2017, further expanded its holdings by bidding S$23.8 million for an additional 10 MHz in the 2.5 GHz band during the IMDA's , bringing its total to 70 MHz and supporting higher-speed data services. These allocations positioned to compete in the mobile market while prioritizing initial in densely populated areas. TPG partnered with Technologies for core network equipment and site construction, aiming to accelerate the rollout in key urban zones such as central business districts and residential hubs. The collaboration focused on integrating Huawei's (RAN) solutions to enable efficient LTE deployment, with TPG handling much of the build internally to control costs and timelines. In April 2017, IMDA granted TPG a Facilities-Based Operator (FBO) , authorizing the company to own and operate facilities. As part of the conditions, TPG committed to achieving nationwide outdoor 4G coverage by December 31, 2018, along with subsequent milestones for in-building, road tunnel, and MRT underground coverage by 2019 and 2021, respectively. These regulatory approvals marked key steps in establishing TPG's operational framework, though the company also intended to leverage its fixed expertise from its Australian parent to inform mobile infrastructure strategies. The establishment phase encountered significant challenges, including protracted site acquisition processes and delays, as TPG navigated regulatory approvals for tower installations and negotiations with owners in a land-scarce environment. Internal integration and testing of network components, without relying heavily on external contractors, further slowed progress. reached approximately S$147 million by 2019. Consequently, TPG did not launch commercial mobile services until March 2020, missing its initial coverage targets and allowing incumbents additional time to strengthen their positions.

2020–2021: Commercial launch

, operating as Singapore's fourth , concluded its extended free trial program and initiated commercial services in late March 2020. The company launched its inaugural paid mobile plan on March 31, 2020, featuring 50 GB of data for SGD 10 per month on a no-contract, SIM-only basis, accompanied by 300 local call minutes and 30 local SMS. This offering was marketed as the market's most cost-effective high-data option, aimed at value-seeking consumers including budget-conscious individuals and flexible users such as digital nomads. Building on feedback from its pre-commercial free trial, which began in December 2018 and enrolled over 400,000 users with daily unlimited data up to 2 GB at no cost for 12 months, TPG emphasized seamless transitions for existing participants to paid plans. The rollout included app-based SIM activation and support for instant connectivity, promoting hassle-free onboarding without physical store visits. Marketing campaigns highlighted the no-contract flexibility and affordability to differentiate from established competitors, driving initial adoption among younger demographics and heavy data users. By the end of 2021, TPG had achieved compliance with (IMDA) mandates, attaining over 99% outdoor population coverage for services and full coverage across all MRT lines and underground stations. This met regulatory deadlines for nationwide street-level and indoor accessibility using its pre-launch holdings in the 700 MHz and 2.5 GHz bands. Concurrently, the operator commenced initial non-standalone (NSA) market trials in September 2021, leveraging 2.3 GHz and mmWave in select urban locations to test enhanced speeds and prepare for broader deployment. The launch strategy's focus on disruptive pricing and digital simplicity yielded strong early traction, with paid active subscribers surpassing 100,000 within the first year and reaching 392,000 by July 2021. This growth underscored TPG's success in capturing through targeted promotions and reliable basic coverage.

2022–2025: Expansion and proposed M1 acquisition

Following its rebranding from TPG Telecom to SIMBA in April 2022, the company experienced significant subscriber growth, reaching approximately 1 million mobile subscribers by early 2024. This surge was fueled by the launch of 5G non-standalone (NSA) services in October 2022 and the subsequent rollout of 5G standalone (SA) capabilities in the first half of 2023, which enabled enhanced network speeds and attracted budget-conscious consumers seeking affordable high-speed connectivity. By January 2025, SIMBA's active monthly paid mobile subscribers had grown to 1.16 million, reflecting a 10% increase from the previous year and underscoring its competitive positioning in Singapore's telecom market. SIMBA accelerated its network expansion to meet the (IMDA) mandate for full islandwide standalone coverage by the end of 2026. The operator achieved over 60% population coverage for NSA by the end of 2023 and expanded to more than 95% standalone coverage by mid-2025, prioritizing urban and high-traffic areas to support emerging use cases like (IoT) applications. As part of this buildup, SIMBA invested in advanced network infrastructure, including capabilities to enable low-latency IoT services for enterprises, positioning the company for growth in data-intensive sectors such as and . In August 2025, announced a major strategic move with an agreement to acquire Keppel's 83.9% stake in M1 Limited's business for an enterprise value of SGD 1.4 billion (approximately USD 1.05 billion). The deal, subject to regulatory approval, aims to consolidate 's market presence by integrating M1's established infrastructure and 1.2 million mobile subscribers, creating Singapore's second-largest mobile operator behind . In October 2025, IMDA launched a on the proposed acquisition, focusing on potential competition impacts, during which and M1 committed to maintaining popular affordable mobile plans priced at SGD 10 and SGD 12 for at least two years post-merger to ensure consumer choice and price stability. As of November 2025, the consultation remains ongoing, with no final decision issued.

These services target budget-conscious users, including millennials, seniors, and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), by emphasizing generous data quotas at low prices to minimize overage fees and support digital lifestyles.

Market position

Subscriber base and growth

Simba Telecom's subscriber base has shown steady growth since its commercial launch in 2020 as TPG Singapore. By July 2021, it had reached 392,000 subscribers, reflecting early adoption driven by competitive entry-level plans. This figure grew to 487,000 by the first half of fiscal year 2022, following its rebranding to Simba. The company achieved a key milestone of 1 million subscribers by early 2024, surpassing 10% market share amid intensified price competition. By mid-2024, the base stood at 1.05 million, and it expanded to 1.16 million mobile subscribers by January 2025, with further growth to 1.254 million by September 2025. The primary driver of this expansion has been Simba's aggressive pricing strategy, offering high-data plans at significantly lower costs than incumbents, which fueled a year-over-year subscriber increase of approximately 30-40% in 2024. This approach resulted in a gross mobile (ARPU) of SGD 9.60 for fiscal year 2025, well below the industry average of around SGD 20. Customer acquisition has predominantly occurred through digital channels, with online sign-ups facilitated via the company's website and app, enabling seamless activation and broad accessibility. Retention efforts emphasize flexible, no-contract plans that appeal to price-sensitive users, contributing to consistent net additions of over 100,000 subscribers per half-year period since 2022. Simba's focus on prepaid services has supported a subscriber mix heavily weighted toward this segment, aligning with its low-cost model. Looking ahead, the proposed acquisition of M1's telecom operations, if approved by regulators, could significantly boost Simba's base by integrating M1's approximately 2.09 million mobile subscribers, potentially creating a combined total of around 3.3 million and positioning Simba as Singapore's second-largest operator by customer numbers.

Competition in Singapore telecom

The Singapore telecommunications market operates as an dominated by four major mobile network operators: , , M1, and Simba Telecom. As of early 2025, commands the largest share at approximately 39% of the postpaid mobile subscriber market, followed by at around 23%, M1 at 24%, and Simba at 14%. Simba has positioned itself as a market disruptor by emphasizing aggressive pricing strategies, particularly its low-cost, high-data SIM-only plans that undercut traditional offerings from incumbents. Simba's competitive edge lies in its focus on data-intensive, unbundled mobile plans, such as those providing 50GB or more of local data for S$10 monthly, contrasting with the incumbents' emphasis on comprehensive bundled services that integrate mobile with fixed , pay-TV, and device financing. This approach has appealed to price-sensitive and data-heavy users underserved by legacy packages. The proposed 2025 acquisition of M1 by , if approved, would combine their operations to potentially elevate Simba's postpaid to 38%, intensifying rivalry with while raising concerns over . As of November 2025, the deal remains under IMDA review, with concerns from mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) like about reduced wholesale access and potential harm to consumers, as well as comments from on the combined entity's spectrum advantages. The (IMDA) plays a pivotal role in regulating the sector to promote fair competition, including through mandatory approvals for mergers and enforcement of wholesale access obligations for network operators. Simba's entry in 2020 has exerted significant price pressure on the market, contributing to a notable decline in (ARPU) for incumbents and a broader reduction in mobile data tariffs, with per-GB costs dropping over 90% compared to pre-2020 levels for comparable plans. IMDA's ongoing on the Simba-M1 deal, extended into late 2025, specifically examines potential impacts on wholesale access for mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), ensuring continued competition post-consolidation. Incumbents like and leverage fixed-mobile convergence strategies, offering integrated packages that bundle mobile services with home broadband and entertainment to retain customers in a maturing market. In response, has pursued -focused partnerships, including equipment collaborations for standalone network deployment and international agreements, achieving over 95% coverage by mid-2025 to enhance its mobile-only proposition without fixed infrastructure. These efforts aim to counter the bundling advantages of rivals through superior performance and cost efficiency.
